Cuff Fitting 
2008-07-19
Product: Life Source Blood Pressur Monitor, Model UA-787
I am happy with the product and I have found that the reading seems accurate when I compared with the reading by Mercury Monitor(Doctor's Office Equipment.) Only comlain I have is the cuff seems more snuggish that two finger space.
Communicating with humans is just too hard for them.

It's probably a well-designed machine, if the reviews are correct. But blood pressure has to be accurate since it affects health and lifestyle decisions --otherwise there's no point in measuring it.
At my doctors, it gave a reading 18 points off on the systolic.
At home it could vary by 15-20 bars. So I stopped using it for several months.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and waited on hold for 45 minutes to talk to what I would guess from the announcements on the hold queue is their only, or 1 of 2 customer service people.
The lady was pleasant, but frustrated, and kept telling me the unit is 98% accurate. But how was I arranging the cuff?
The manual says: the cuff should be snug, but not too tight. You should be able to put two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
The cuff says: Adjust so that you can fit two fingers between the top and bottom cuff edge.
By "top and bottom" they really mean "front and back" cuff edge.
They also mean that the edge of the cuff flap should slope toward the shoulder and not the wrist.
I think, if I accept my doctor's reading as accurate, I have a device that provides excellent biofeedback on my ability to place the cuff properly. Unfortunately, that is not medically significant.
I will play with it for a few weeks and see if I can get it to work for me as a measure of blood pressure.
If not, I'll leave it out on the street and let some homeless person have it for free.
Seems to be Accurate 
2006-01-19
I've had it for one day and it seems to be accurate. I calibrated the UA-787EJ against the manual setup (stethiscope, gauge and cuff) that I purchased last week and the readings are consistant. I read the first review that stated their disatisfaction b/c the readings were "high". I would recommend calibrating the unit yourself and if it is off, return it for another or a refund.
For the last week I've tested several monitors in the local stores (Omron, ReliOn, LifeSource) and I felt that all of them reported low BP readings. I even ordered one that was very eratic in its readings but was always 10 to 12 points lower than the readings taken w/a stethiscope (sometimes I used the BP machine at Wal-Mart, which seemed to be consistent). I returned it for a refund.
I work at a hospital, and a co-worker used the new UA-787EJ this morning, found that his blood pressure was very high, went down to ER and indeed it was extremely high. If you have doubts about the accuracy, I suggest purchasing the manual steth., gauge and cuff to do your own calibartion. It was the only way I could be confident the automatic unit was accurate and reliable. The manual setup only costs about $16.00 from Wal-Mart (maybe less from Amazon) and taking your BP is easy.
Erroneous readings 2006-01-16
After doing extensive research on the web, I purchased this item to replace a current blood pressure monitor. While the Easy Fit cuff was easy to place, the B/P readings obtained for my wife and myself were much higher than those obtained on our previous B/P cuff as well as higher than blood pressures taken at the doctor's office. Since we had no confidence in the accuracy of the readings, I returned the B/P cuff to Amazon for a refund.
